Driving The 2000 Mustang Cobra R
|
If you want to know what Hugh Hefner thinks of your girlfriend, have Steve Ridout of Powertrain Dynamics drive your Cobra R. Steve has dyno’d and sampled a lifetime of hot V-8s, so we got the jaded expert’s opinion from him. “Kinda neat,” Steve opined, as he whipped around the mile-square block in a series of two- and three-gear blasts. “My car is faster...,” and we agree! Most sort-of-legal, blown-351-Windsor strokers tuned by a pro with his own chassis dyno and chip-writing software are faster. Still, even Steve could feel the R-model’s limited-edition pull. It simply drips factory race car mystique, something one-off hot rods will never have. View Related Article
